2 poor condition leaf samples for ID, quite rare in these parts :)

Hey all,

Two leaves for ID not the best pics or samples but it isnt the best time of year for leaves

From two lovely trees that i have not seen in a long time so see if you can ID them as they are pretty distinctive

 

[BushTucker]

I am learning trees at the mo, and do not claim to be good at it but, isnt it the one you get checker fruits from, popular or woodmans tree or something???

 

[Toadflax]

May be Wild Service Tree.


Geoff

 

[BushTucker]

Thats the name i was trying to remember service tree, has checkers fruit and flame leaves, yeah.

 

[Shewie]

They look a bit maple to me but I`ll have a stab at the Plane tree


Rich

 

[Ben_Hillwalker]

I will go with wild service tree.

The flame-shaped leaves are a give-away

 

[DoctorSpoon]

Turkey oak can also have leaves that shape....

 

[xylaria]

I would go with red oak, but I recon I am wrong.

 

[jojo]

I'll go for Red Oak.

 

[xylaria]

It is not very red for red oak though, I think. so I would go for Quercus not-my-book-a-cus, or it could be quercus in-the-book-i-cant-find-todaivia.

A botanist is only as smart as the field guide in front of them, well that is my excuse.

 

[Shewie]

I thought Oak at first but I always thought they were more symetrical than these.

I was thinking Pine Oak or Scarlet Oak.



I`m still to guess an I.D right on here so I`ll just sit down quietly at the back


Rich

 

[Mirius]

I'll go with red oak too, though I'm willing to be educated!

 

[perpetualelevator]

I don't recognize the one on the left, the one on the right does look like a red oak, but a somewhat deformed specimen. The ones around here are usually symmetrical. I probably shouldn't bother playing this game with Brits though, because your trees seem to be fairly different from mine.

Red Oak and I know the other as Feathered beech ? both really nice trees

I was lucky enough to find these and others such as douglas fir, brewers spruce, norwegian spruce and more. It was at a customers Hotel so i turned the phone off for half hour and collared the gardener !
